From reactions of parents Barnard Castle Group is something they want their 

children to join and they appreciate the facilities that the Group 

provides. Many of our leaders are parents, ex-parents or in one case a 

grandparent of beavers, cubs and scouts. We have a progressive training scheme 

and the list of activities is very long with an emphasis on outdoors when 

possible. The scouts and cubs have several camps or hostel weekends and even 

the beavers regularly go on sleepovers . The Headquarters is used 

every evening except Saturday for our weekly meetings. 

We are fortunate to have a purpose built HQ with well maintained equipment, 

minibuses and trailers. Watching the troop going to Summer camp is like an 

army maneuvers with masses of gear and bodies. 

 

If you would like to be 

involved in the Group please contact the Group Scout Leader 

Mark Fell   Group@1stbarnardcastlescouts.co.uk

We always need some support staff as members of the Group Executive 

or helpers of the Quartermaster.
